Abstract excerpt
Understanding gene-environment and gene-gene interactions is important for studying complex diseases. Case-only analysis has been proposed to improve power for detecting interactions. However, case-only analysis relies on key assumptions, including correct specification of the disease risk model and marginal independence between variables. In this study, we systematically investigate the challenges of case-only...
